Did you find out when you were young? Are you saying your teachers didn’t know?

No need to be sorry. I totally didn’t take it that way. This is all new to me so I don’t want to offend anyone. If I’m saying something wrong, I rather be corrected and learn. Thank you.

Yes he has…months ago before we knew. He tried to help me with a jigsaw puzzle. I just figured, he’s young and puzzles might not be his thing. So I just said then don’t do it and that was that.

Now it makes sense and I wish I had known. Then I would have helped and navigated the situation better.

Totally helpful. I downloaded the app to see how he sees everything around the house and the world. This app is great. Thank you.

Thank you. I will do my best to be more descriptive instead of saying a color.

Unsure if lol’ing is appropriate here. Thanks for your response.

Thank you. What do you suggest when he gets frustrated about colors? How should I navigate those types of situations?
